As far as I know.
01+ Civic Type R
02+ RSX Type S (or Integra Equivalent.)
The American Civic Si has a K20a3 and doesn't have the "Preformance Vtec" that the K20a has.
Other good info for buying a K engine in North America.
All "Honda" Badged K engines all have the Economy Vtec as compared to the Performance Vtec. the "Acura" Badged K engines have the Performance Vtec.

Wikipedia Article "Vtec" wrote:For the K-Series motors there are two different types of i-VTEC systems implemented. The first is for the performance motors like in the RSX Type S or the TSX and the other is for economy motors found in the CR-V or Accord. The performance i-VTEC system is basically the same as the DOHC VTEC system of the B16A's, both intake and exhaust have 3 cam lobes per cylinder. However the valvetrain has the added benefit of roller rockers and continuously variable intake cam timing. The economy i-VTEC is more like the SOHC VTEC-E in that the intake cam has only two lobes, one very small and one larger, as well as no VTEC on the exhaust cam. The two types of motor are easily distinguishable by the factory rated power output: the performance motors make around 200 hp or more in stock form and the economy motors do not make much more than 160 hp from the factory.
